Over 1,000 Arrested Across Europe in Europol Crackdown on Organized Crime

Posted by Stephen Cook on September 25, 2014 

Law enforcement officers from 34 countries take part in the largest ever coordinated operation against organised crime in the EU – 1027 individuals arrested.

Between 15 and 23 September, law enforcement authorities from 34 countries, coordinated and supported by Europol from its headquarters in The Hague, joined forces in Operation Archimedes.

The operation targeted organised crime groups and their infrastructures across the European Union (EU) in a series of actions in hundreds of locations, with the cooperation of Eurojust, Frontex and Interpol.

“Operation Archimedes is a milestone in attempts by the law enforcement community to deliver concerted action against organised crime groups in Europe. The scale of the operation is unprecedented and the outcome, with over 1000 arrests made across Europe, a reminder to even the most serious criminal groups that the international law enforcement community is determined to combat their illegal activities,” says Rob Wainwright, Director of Europol.

“This week, as EU police chiefs gather at Europol for the 2014 European Police Chiefs Convention, our focus will be on how our combined strengths can best be applied to bringing down even more of the organised criminal groups that threaten the safety and wellbeing of our society.”

Focussed on disrupting the activities of the most threatening criminal groups and top targets active in key crime hotspots across Europe, the intelligence-led Operation Archimedes saw the participation of law enforcement officers from all 28 EU Member States as well as Australia, Colombia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the USA (ICE and CBP).

In the largest period of joint action days held so far in the EU, raids and other interventions took place between 15-23 September 2014 in hundreds of locations including airports, border-crossing points, ports and specific crime hot spots in towns and cities all of which had featured variously in Europol’s SOCTA1, criminal intelligence reports from EU Member States and third countries and analytical products drawn from Europol’s criminal databases.

Results from the operational actions include:

    1027 individuals arrested
    599 kg of cocaine and 200 kg of heroin seized
    1.3 tonnes of cannabis seized
    30 children saved from trafficking.

Joint action days have become a regular feature, over the years, of the EU law enforcement response to specific aspects of organised crime. Operation Archimedes builds on this experience. In one concerted set of actions, over an extended period the operation sought to harness the collective strength of police, customs and other enforcement agencies, supported by real-time, live intelligence exchange to focus on nine ‘EMPACT’ priority crime areas, as part of the EU multi-annual policy cycle established by the Council of the European Union:

    Trafficking in human beings
    Facilitated illegal immigration
    Synthetic drugs
    Cocaine and heroin trafficking
    Firearms trafficking
    Counterfeit goods
    Excise and carousel (MTIC)2 fraud
    Organised property crime
    Cybercrime (transnational child sex offenders and payment fraud).

In parallel, investigators targeted the key infrastructures used by criminal groups, the use of the Internet as a facilitator for crime, and the illicit movement of criminal proceeds using money transfer systems.

In cooperation with Frontex and EU Member States, around 10 000 irregular migrants were checked which also led to the arrest of criminals facilitating illegal immigration. In total in the overall operation, 170 facilitators were arrested and important intelligence was gathered.

Europol played a central role in coordinating and directing the overall operation from a 24/7 operational coordination centre in The Hague, manned by Europol officials, liaison officers from all involved countries and colleagues from international law enforcement partners.

Europol specialists, supported by their liaison officer colleagues, coordinated the exchange of information and intelligence between national law enforcement authorities, international partners and Europol, while Europol analysts processed the information and produced real-time reporting to those engaged in interventions and operational activity in the field.

Europol officers were also deployed on the spot in various locations, with their Europol mobile office which gave them direct, secure access to Europol’s centralised databases and analysis tools.

While Operation Archimedes may be over it is clear that the huge operational activity will provide many leads which will, in turn, direct further investigations and arrests.

En meddelelse fra vores Moder Maria 25 September 2014

Gennem Aisha North



And here I am once more, ready to impart another message into your being. For you have all come through another stage of your development now dear ones, and so you stand before me as if freshly born again, the empty vessels of yesteryear lying discarded beside you. And so too me, for I have also been taken through a renewal of the senses and of the spirit in such a way, the material layers have once more become fortified as these nutritious elements of energetic upraising have surged through us all. You see, this period of time is not just about the amount of light and how it is being dispersed by our collective Sun, this is also about the energetic shift that has taken place, and for the likes of us, the latter is indeed the greatest news. For as you all came together focusing your intent on shifting forwards, you helped the entire volume of this mass to become lighter in every way. For what came our way from the outer reaches of Creation once more helped to alter the conglomeration of mass already created here on this planet in such a way, the energetic imprint it all carries has also been shifted to a very new angle, one that not only reflects the light in a very new way, but also one that assimilates the incoming light even more efficiently.

So as you all stepped forth you helped to shift so much that up until this point in time has been inert, and so, what was set into motion by this combined effort of enlightened souls such as you will continue to increase the speed and the momentum of this entire project. For that is what we are dear ones, a combination of enlightened matter and inert matter, and the more you are able to receive these incoming emissaries and connect with them at a deep level of your being, the more you will be able to literally help much of that old and previously unmalleable matter into something that will also help to increase the light quotient on this planet.

For we are ONE, and as you step forward, you pull the collective along and me with it, and as the collective takes increasingly longer steps away from the old density, the whole process takes another exponential leap forward. So once again I bid you farewell by thanking you all for the way that you continue to enlighten us all, for we are one, and where you go, I follow. For we are so closely linked together in every way and on every level. You are the enlightened ones, but you are also the treasured ones, for the light you all carry in your heart is making that heart expand to such a degree, it is literally carrying with it this whole planet, and so too me. For the part of Creation that I am speaking on behalf of is also a part of you. It has always been so, but for many a generation, our connection was so faint it was close to extinction. But as you chose to once again turn your eyes and your heart towards the light, our connection was once again rekindled, and now, it is blazing as brightly as a shining star on the firmament. But still, we do have quite a ways to go together in order to once again attain that perfectly balanced kinship we used to have, but from the what these last few days have shown, your actions are a true and formidable testament to the depth of your commitment to yourself, and to this partnership that has been so long in coming to light again. So once again I say thank you for being who you are and for doing what you do. You are the children of the light but the light is also your offspring, as so much of it springs forth from that well you all carry within, that well that is now once again flowing freely.

Gigantisk virksomhedsovertagelse af en opfindelse, der ville sætte OLIE OG GAS ud af markedet

Igen, regeringerne er stadigvæk i fornægtelse og fri energi må endnu vente med at leve. Hvorfor, simpel - så kan man ikke længere beskatte bilerne og olie og gas selskaberne mister penge. Hvis der er nogen som stadigvæk er magtfulde, er det Oliegarkerne og energiselskaberne. 
Selvom den Spanske model gik i vasken, har Guy Negre, (Air Car), en fransk opfinder og tidligere Formula One ingeniør, annonceret, at masseproducere Air Car modeller til Indien siden 2004, men det ser ud til at være en licens svindel, siges det.! (døm selv) Derfor er der af gode grunde INTET i de almindelige nyheds medier omkring fri energi og MDI Air Car.     

Udgivet den 24 Sep 2014

I denne video rejser Luke Rudkowski til Barcelona Spanien for at møde Miguel Celades, som var den officielle repræsentanter for MDI Air Car. Den teknologi og bilen blev henlagt efter regeringens pres og et selskab som opkøber virksomheden.

Meddelelser fra Lysarbejdere, Galatiske venner og Opstegne Mestre - 24. September 2014 CET

For at forstå sammenhængen, og føler du dig inspireret, læs alle artiklerne igennem, i stedet for min lemfældige opsummering og uddrag. Der er simpelthen ikke tid til, at oversætte i det enorme tempo som vi får meddelelser fra alle vores Opstegne mestre, vores skaber og den galaktiske familie inden den store begivenhed finder sted. 
Idag har vi Arcturianske Transmission via Suzanne Lie, som fortæller os hvor svært det er, at modtage de højere vibrationer og frekvenser og erindre vores tidligere løfte om at være på jorden netop nu. Tid til at transmute.
Ærkeenglen Gabrielle, fortæller os, Når du holder dig til sandheden om din eksistens og dit væsen, vil den fysiske virkelighed følge med. Dette er en af ​​de primære lærdomme, vi bringer gennem hellig union.
Sheldan Nidle opdatering, som altid fantastisk opløftende og positivt. Vi er meget, meget tæt på den endelige STORE begivenhed nu. Den globale nulstilling og valuta revalueringen kommer snart ja, men at der snart bliver teleporteret vores mentor for at gøre os klar til denne 3-dages Krystalkammer for transformationen overhoved kan finde sted og vi smider vores gamle 3D væk. Det er svært at begribe. Tror nu ikke det er alle som har denne mulighed, da man skal være mere end parat spirituel emne i vores tid. Vi er sikkert mange som har svært ved at have fokus og være positive, selvom vi allerede er på vej mod at vinde lyset tilbage igen.
Til sidst en ny Mester; Master Lanto via Fran Zepeda. som vil hjælpe os, at opløfte vores energier i det niveau som kræves mod vores Ascension, om vi vil det eller ej, er der ingen vej tilbage nu.

States of Consciousness

We ask you all to go into the Core of your physical form, which will change according to your bodily needs. Your Earth vessels are beginning to transmute in earnest now. Therefore, your Earth vessel will need the attention of your ever-expanding consciousness.

You see it has taken a long “time” for your body to become familiar enough with this higher energy field that it could begin to accept this frequency of light as beneficial as opposed to damaging.

This experience is much like stepping into cold water or a hot bath. At first the “temperature” is uncomfortable, but as your body adapts to the new temperature, it becomes more “normal.” It is the same with the temperature/frequency of Light that is increasingly penetrating the body of Gaia and ALL Her inhabitants.

Just as you need to take some “time” before you become accustomed to the water that was too hot or too cold, your consciousness and your body need to “take some time” before you could fully accept this higher frequency of Light. The members of our Away Team who are awakened to their Mission have been the first Ones to openly accept and surrender to the process of transmutation that this higher Light offers.

To our volunteers, this Light is similar to a “memory from Home” in which reality was brighter, more transparent and easily transmuted via their thoughts and emotions. Those of you wearing Earth vessels, human or otherwise, who can remember your true SELF are not frightened by this Light. Therefore, you do not resist it. Instead, you can remember to surrender into it. ....

Archangel Gabrielle Beckons Us: Come Fly with Me… You are Ready

So, let’s begin by taking a nice, deep breath of ruby red; the red of the heart, the red of life blood, of a perfect red rose, of the ruby itself.

And feel, from your root chakra, that red cord that comes out of your root and from your heart, this beautiful golden emerald cord as well.

And as we breathe the ruby feel your cords intertwining if they want, dancing together if they want, and going directly into the heart of Gaia; Gaia who is anchored fully and completely, her heart is now anchored in the 7th dimension of the Christ Consciousness and the Love.

So feel it, feel that little tug at your root and in your heart as you feel like you are plugging in to the heart and the essence of Gaia; that as we go forward on this journey together, as one circle, we are completely connected to her, that she’s keeping our feet on the ground and a roof over our head.

And breathe that rich, beautiful red and sink into your heart. And as you are sinking into your heart, feel all the turmoil, whether it’s the collective or what’s gone on during the week, just feel it flushing out of you.

Literally come with me down to the ocean and walk in with me or stand by the edge or come swimming with me, come ride the wave and let the Tsunami refresh you and cleanse you and fill you with a million different colored sparkles of blue. And feel the Love of the Mother. And breathe.

Greetings, I am Gabriel, I am Gabrielle, Lily of Love, Trumpet of Truth, Messenger of One, Messenger of the Mother, Messenger of the Father, Messenger of All. I remind you this day, as you clear your key motivator, your core issues, as you let the old residue of the old 3rd go…

Why do you do this? Why on earth, on Gaia, within this galaxy and this universe, why on earth are you doing this? Because your very soul, your heart, your mind, your being, your expanded being demands Love, demands freedom, demands joy and requires joy .....

Sheldan Nidle opdatering for Galaktiske Føderation af lys og åndelige hierarki

Hvem er Sheldan Nidle: Sheldan Nidle er grundlægger af Planetary Activation Organization, en UFO religion. Han siger at han er i stand til former for telepatiske kommunikation, samt er i kontakt med rumvæsener. Han er tit kanal for budskaber og formidler af Det Galaktiske Føderation Af Lys.

5 Imix, 19 Zip, 11 Ik

Dratzo! We come on this day with good news! The various programs to change your life and to reset the world's currencies continue to show progress. We are pleased that the final attempts by the dark cabal have failed. The end of September is to be a time noted for prosperity, freedom and the rise of a successful world peace movement. Many governments on your world are approaching a point where sudden change is inevitable. These changes are being caused by the increasing pressure being put on the dark cabal to concede its defeat and begin to cooperate with our earthly allies. We are watching the result of literally two decades of pressure. The new monetary system is part of a fresh financial system that is dovetailing with the distribution of your world's prosperity funds. Together, these two movements are changing the way your work operates. This series of changes is only the beginning; NESARA in America and a global movement tied to it are to change your reality forever.

   The coming changes are part of a process leading inevitably to first contact. The initial part of this is presently underway. The developing prosperity and the increase of freedoms globally are as well to further the conditions leading to formal disclosure. We understand how shocking the announcements are that you hear daily from your leaders. These announcements are to transform the very nature of your governance and to prepare you for the broadcasts that permit us to later talk to you directly. Once we can address you, we intend to cover a broad series of subjects. You have been given only brief information which you first learned in school, and later had this expanded by your book reading and listening to a variety of programs on your television. You need to learn about your true off-world origins and how you came to be a resident of the surface of Gaia. Then, you are ready to meet your Agarthan neighbors and, of course, us.

Master Lanto via Fran Zepeda: Fra Energierne Equniox i September - Du er Universets Kraft

Lanto er Chohan af den 2nd Stråle, den gule stråle, visdom, forståelse og dømmekraft. Han eksemplificerer disse og andre anden-stråle dyder, herunder belysning og dømmekraft. Lord Lanto underviser vejens opnåelse gennem oplysning og beherskelse i kronen chakra, og kan hjælpe sjæle i at modtage Helligåndens gaver visdomsord og ordet viden

Master Lanto:

Greetings. The purity of the energies are entering your beings at an increasing rate. Lifting you in gigantic waves of ascension. And in this Lifting, you have a chance and a duty to yourself to rise above the diminishing lower energies that are still clinging to you.

I come to support you in this Lifting, in this refinement of your energies. The purity of the energies are matching the purity of your soul and while sometimes it is difficult to differentiate this purity from the lingering leaving energies of the past, it is well worth your while to intend to rise above this difference.

I take you now on a journey of your pure soul, of allowing yourself to mingle with all your higher aspects now. The energies of Now are in complete support of this. This upliftment, this revealing of the purity and radiance of your soul and your connection with Creator is now leading the way in your journey of ascension.

There is no turning back. Allow yourselves to lift higher, allow yourselves to focus on the purity of your soul, on the pure connection with Creator. Welcome your soul family. Welcome your higher self and higher aspects on this journey. That is what is real in you. All the nagging whispers of “doom and gloom” and unloving thoughts are just in your consciousness now to be recognized and let go as a thing of the past.

Choose now to welcome the loving waves of your Pure Soul that are now guiding you in your Ascension. Choose now to welcome the loving guidance of your Higher Self, your I Am Presence, and your Soul Family and Creator as your only path and focus.

It is time now to complete your journey in peace, in knowing that you have chosen the pure energies to be your guide and that the lingering whispers of yesteryear’s thinking and knowing are merely remnants of what you are ready to let go of.

Embrace yourself now. Embrace your pure soul now. Allow it to accompany you in every thought and action you take. This is real. This is your destiny. Discover the knowings and truths of your soul now. It is blending with your complete consciousness and awareness, becoming your only consciousness, the potential consciousness of the masses in that all are a pure aspect of Creator. Embrace that knowing. Embrace that Truth.

Eric Holder Says Justice Department Has Moles on Wall Street

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: September 23, 2014





In addition to hundreds of Federal bank examiners permanently stationed at Wall Street’s biggest banks by the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in an effort to eradicate a serial crime spree, an unknown number of Justice Department moles are now roaming about the mahogany corridors of power, chatting up potential criminals around the water cooler and hoping to make it out alive before being detected.

Avoiding detection as a mole becomes so much more challenging when the highest law enforcement officer in the land, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, comes to New York to address Wall Street’s lawyers and tells them, flat out, that he’s got moles stationed inside his Wall Street targets. (There were likely 100,000 text messages flying about Wall Street before Holder got to the next paragraph of his speech.)

The revelation by Holder came on September 17, not in off the cuff remarks, but in a carefully prepared speech delivered at NYU School of Law in Manhattan. Discussing an insider trading case, Holder stated:

“It was only because the government had a cooperating witness inside the company – a witness who had agreed to wear a wire – that the department was able to record a verbal account of these actions, to illuminate other obstruction, and to uncover illegal conduct that otherwise might never have come to light.

“Similarly, in our full-court press to investigate and prosecute the ongoing LIBOR matter – which is being led by the Criminal and Antitrust Divisions, and involved a wide-ranging scheme to rig one of the world’s benchmark interest rates – witnesses from inside some of the world’s leading financial firms have played important roles.  They have strengthened our ability to follow leads; to obtain guilty pleas from subsidiaries of major banks like UBS and RBS; and to pursue individual charges against nine former traders and managers at these institutions.  Our ongoing investigation into the manipulation of foreign exchange rates has relied on similar investigative techniques involving undercover cooperators, as well.” 

We learn two things in that last sentence. Moles are now called “undercover cooperators” by the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney General wants Wall Street to know they’re there.

World Leaders Flooding into New York for Crucial Meeting - Reuters

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon speaks at a news conference ahead of the 69th United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters in New York

SEP. 21, 2014, 6:25 PM - Louis Charbonneau and Michelle Nichols

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - World leaders gather in New York this week to tackle a host of crises: the violence Islamic State militants are wreaking in Iraq and Syria, the exponential spread of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa and deadlocked negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.

There is little hope the 193-nation U.N. General Assembly will achieve much in the annual five-day marathon of speeches. But on the sidelines, U.S. officials plan to lobby allies for pledges of concrete military assistance to help defeat Islamic State, whose hardline Sunni Islamist fighters have taken over swaths of Syrian and Iraqi territory.
....
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said more than 140 heads of state or government will attend the assembly's annual "general debate", which begins on Wednesday and ends Sept. 30. He noted an unusually large number of serious conflicts: in the Middle East, Africa and Ukraine.

"The world is facing multiple crises," Ban told reporters.

"All have featured atrocious attacks on civilians, including children," he said. "All have dangerous sectarian, ethnic or tribal dimensions. And many have seen sharp divisions within the international community itself over the response."

U.N. officials and delegates say the top issue for Western and Arab leaders is the rampage of Islamic State militants, who are blamed for a wave of sectarian violence, beheadings and massacres of civilians.

"Together, we will address the horrendous violence in Syria and Iraq, where conflict and governance failures have provided a breeding ground for extremist groups," Ban said.

U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to use the U.N. podium on Wednesday to call for more countries to join his coalition of more than 40 nations to prevent IS from expanding its territory. The United States has been bombing IS targets in Iraq for the past month but has yet to bomb Syria.

The White House said it was unlikely that Obama would meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani while both are in New York this week. But Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at which they are expected to discuss Iran's atomic program and IS.

On Friday, Kerry told a special meeting of the Security Council that Iran could play a role in helping tackle IS, an apparent shift in the U.S. position. Both Iran and the United States have ruled out military cooperation.

EBOLA OUTBREAK

In addition to speeches by Obama, Rouhani and other high-profile leaders, other important attendees making their U.N. General Assembly debut this week include Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

On Wednesday, Obama will chair a rare summit meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the problem of foreign fighters. He last chaired a council summit in 2009 on eradicating nuclear weapons.

At Wednesday's meeting, the council plans to adopt a resolution demanding countries "prevent and suppress" recruitment and travel of foreign fighters to join extremist militant groups like IS by ensuring it is a serious criminal offence under domestic laws. Foreign fighters in IS are believed to be the group's cruelest.

U.N. member states will also tackle the Ebola crisis in West Africa. Obama and other leaders will also attend a high-level meeting on the exponentially worsening hemorrhagic fever outbreak that has devastated Liberia, Sierra Leone and other countries in the region.

The meeting comes just after the Security Council declared Ebola a "threat to international peace and security" and established the first-ever U.N. mission dedicated to tackling a public-health threat.

Since the current outbreak was first detected in March, Ebola has infected at least 5,357 people, according to the World Health Organization, mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. It has also spread to Senegal and Nigeria. The virus has killed an estimated 2,630 people.

Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had been due to speak at the General Assembly this week but canceled her trip to New York because of the Ebola crisis.

While the General Assembly speeches are going on, senior foreign ministry officials from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China are meeting in New York with Iranian officials. They will try to break a deadlock in talks aimed at ending sanctions in exchange for curbs on Iran's nuclear program. Foreign ministers from the six powers may join the talks in the course of the week.

Even though a Nov. 24 deadline for a long-term deal is a mere two months away, diplomats close to the talks say a deal in New York is unlikely.

Just ahead of the General Assembly on Tuesday, U.N. chief Ban will convene a global summit meeting on climate change that aims to set the stage for a major environmental conference in Paris next year. Obama is expected to use the session to highlight strides the United States has made on climate change.
There will also be high-level side meetings on conflicts in Syria, Libya, South Sudan, Ukraine, the Central African Republic, Mali, the Israeli-Palestinian problem, and the U.N. war on poverty.
